This inventionhasfor its object to 'p'ro vide an iniproved sewing machine 'binder oif such Construction that one or more-piping strips may be fed to'the needle of a sewing machine with the binding, for'enabling binding and piping to be .siniultaneously performed, and in which thepiping guide plate and also, preferably, the binder scrollare' laterally adjustable, all as will be hereinafter more fully explainedi i In the accompanying draWin'gs'Fig. 21 is aplan view of the improved binding and pip ing attachment, Fig. 2 is aview similarto 1 but Showing some parts in different positions. Fig. 3 is aside viewof the' attach ment looking from the rightor rigs;- 1 and 2. Fig. 4 is a detail section ongline 4+4,Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a sideview ofthelattachmentlook ing froinlthe left of Figs- 1 and 2. t

Referring-to the drawings, 12"de'notes' a piesser foot having a forked "ishank 13 'by which it may be a'ttached'to' thepress'er bar of a sewing machine. 'Attachedj to-the presser-foot 12 by a rivet 141isfl a plate 15hav- 1 ing a laterally extending part 16 provided 1 with an open slot 17 and to which-laterally extending part 16 the binder scroll '18 is suit ably attached, preferably by soldering, This binder scroll is provided with a series'of slots 19 of difierent heights or lengths forthe'purpose of accommodating bindings of different widths, or for the purpose of receiving both a comparatively narrow binding tape or p piping strips than could be used in such 'ad- I strip and a relatively wide piping strip.

Also attached to the presser-foot 12 is a piping guide plate 20 havinga series of slots 21 of diiierent lengths to accommodate piping strips voi different widths. The slotted portion of the said plateQO is in line with, or on a level with the central opening in the binder scroll between the two lobes ofjsaid' scroll, as shown in Fig. 5. a

The plate 15, carrying thebinder scroll 18, and the piping guidejplate20,'are preferably adjustable laterally on the pressenfoot 12, to which they are attached by the rivet 1 1'. To this end the openings 15 and 2min said plates, and through which openings the shank of said rivet passes, are; somewhat elongated, and the needle Jopenings 15 jand a naipiping will appe ar 0 1929f serial No. 557,563,

The 'said'plates'. are frictionally retained-in anydesired position to which they I i may be adjusted by a bowedspring 22 located beneath the head of said rivet 14 and bearing onthe plate'15. I j 1' orconvenielnce in adjusting the plates15 and QO'laterallysaidplate 15 may bejprovide'd fwithaan upturned lug or fingerpiece 15,"and the forward cross-piece 20 of said plate 20 may likewisebe providedwith an upturned lug or finger piece 20 By pressing inward on" the finger-piece 15 the plate 15 and the binder scroll 18;carried thereby may be moved to the right, and by pressing inward 'on the finger-piece 2O the piping guide-plate may be moved to theleft, such lateral adjustment of these plates opening 1 the-slots the piping guide'plate, as

shown in-F g.'-: 1,sothat piping strips. may be 1nser'ted sidew se or edge-wise into said slets,;if desired,inst ead of leading such strips through" said slots-'end-wise.
